    M1-C help

    Need more detail and pictures. Personally, I would leave it alone. It is what it is. The value will spike in the next 10 years. If you are looking for an original scope and mount, expect to pay $4,000 plus. If you want a reproduction scope and mount I would contact Sarco, Gunparts Corp...

    Garand Snipers

    Twins The D is 100% original. Stock is a SA/RA, GI T37, GI mount, pristine GI M84, GI cheek pad. Shoots "lights out" for its type - sub 2 MOA (best 5 shot is 1 MOA) from the bench. The C is has a repro scope and upper mount. Lower mount is numbered to the rifle. I needed to "play"...

    Original M1-C at the LGS

    This one is grossly overpriced. The mount is a Sarco ($345). The commercial Alaskan can be had for $400-$500. That's a $3800.00 set-up. Throw a couple of hundred on “top” for convenience. The Sarco mounts do not just slide on, so it was probably fit to the base. It looks like it was done...

    Thanks to all. I will do some additional testing.

    Advice needed - bad batch of powder, primers, brass?

    The powder looks pretty much the same (color & size). I'll try to find a magnifying glass. I opened up an 8lb jug of WW760 that I recently purchased and ran it through my RCBS powder throw. The suspect powder runs 47.0 grns where the eight pould jug runs 48.2. The eight lb jug is a...

    Advice needed - bad batch of powder, primers, brass?

    Used Win 760 for some 8mm reloads. I bought 2 lbs from a reputable reloading dealer at a gun show about 6 weeks ago. The first 1 lbs container worked nicely, and I had no issues. The second container has been unusual. I was using "virgin" 8mm Hornady brass (I have never used before), CCI...

    .260 or .338 TRG?

    Why no love for a 300 Win Mag?

    TRG22, Poor Ejection, and BerettaUSA

    Well, the CS did start out a little rough and it took two attempts to fix (didn't listen to me, or the message didn't get communicated properly) However, once the CS Director became involved it was properly fixed. They even sent me a video of the rifle being test fired and the spent cases...

    TRG22, Poor Ejection, and BerettaUSA

    I was having ejection problems since I bought the rifle 2.5 years ago. At best, only about 90-95% of the spent cartridges ejected properly. Five-10% never made it out of the breech area. In addition, I had to briskly pull back on the bolt to achieve an inadequate level of reliability. I have...

    TRG22 vs. R5 Milspec

    Re: TRG22 vs. R5 Milspec With a good after-market trigger, the 5R will probably shoot as accurately as the TRG. Heck, it might even shoot better. That said we are talking .1 to .2 of an inch difference either way. The TRG is not a custom rifle. It is a factory built sniper rifle used by many...

    Repro WWII sniper rifles

    Re: Repro WWII sniper rifles I'm left handed and own a M1D. I have no problems what-so ever. It's quite comfortable because your cheek needs to be tight on the center top of the stock. You may lose some field of view because of the angle, but it won't impact seeing your target.

    Rifle Scopes Current Belgian scope, or other post reticles?

    Re: Current Belgian scope, or other post reticles? I would look to the European manufacturers. I think Leopold had an option at one time, but would probably have to special order it today. The picket-post reticle is great on a low powered scope. The reticle is very easy to discern in the...

    Accuracy Problems with LWRCI M6A3 DMR

    Background - The first 400 rounds defiantly sub-moa accuracy. Then accuracy started to degrade. I noticed the pins on the gas block were backing out. Called LWRCI and they provided a shipping label. Found out the pins were installed backwards. They replaced the pins and the gas block, but...

    Rifle Scopes Which scope for me? Few constraints inside..

    Re: Which scope for me? Few constraints inside.. Unless your Falcon isn't working properly, I would just use what you have. The Falcon can be a decent starter scope. Go buy some ammo and practice. Once you have established yourself as a certified "gun nut", then start upgrading the toys...

    Gas vs Piston

    Re: Gas vs Piston In theory, DI is more accurate and piston more reliable. However, the quality of the individual weapon is most important. I believe the piston allows for a cleaner, cooler, lubed action resulting in improved reliability in adverse conditions (such as extreme heat). This...

    Fn Rifles.

    Re: Fn Rifles. Does she enjoy shooting, or is this a new activity for her? If a new activity, I'd go with FP10, 20 inch, with a threaded barrel. Put a brake on it and upgrade the stock if need be. On the other hand, if she decides she doesn't like to shoot, you get a nice FN to play around...

    Rifle Scopes Got a NXS and still wanting more.

    Re: Got a NXS and still wanting more. At it’s very worst Nightforce has very good glass. I had some problems due to not setting the ocular focus properly. Once it was set right, optical quality was excellent. The rear ocular is more than just focusing the crosshair, too much either way...

    DMR Pics

    Re: DMR Pics If in 5.56: 1) 18-20 inch barrel (need velocity) 2) MOA or better 3) 3x9 optical sight (compact, lightweight, good magnification range, stick a red dot on the 3X9 for the close in speed stuff) 4) Collapsible stock to shorten when needed 5) Then take pity on the enemy - whomever...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon Menace 5.5-25x56

    Re: Falcon Menace 5.5-25x56 Falcons are a crap shoot durability wise. Since you are intending to mount on a .223 - your risk is lower. These scopes offer a lot for the money. I've also noticed the warranties have been improved. I like them, but for $400 more you can do better. If the...
